• When Red Goes Green

Even those watching the event unfold on TV from the comfort of their homes in Beijing weren't entirely safe from the effects of China's increasing environmental decay. China's capital is one of the most polluted in the world and lung cancer is now the number one cause of death here, according to China's own State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA). A thick cloud of sulfur envelops the city most evenings and a recent picture taken from NASA's Terra satellite showed the entire city covered by a nearly opaque band of gray smog. Chinas economic "miracle will end soon because the environment can no longer keep pace," Pan Yue, China's deputy minister for the environment, said in a recent interview with Der Spiegel magazine. "Acid rain is falling on one third of the Chinese territo...

• Historic Site Faces Funding Skirmish

RIVER EDGE - A Revolutionary War site is set to be taken over by the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission as soon as one issue is resolved - funding. Legislation passed in 2009 called for the state Department of Environmental Protection to transfer administration of the Steuben House and parkland to the commission once a master plan was completed. DEP Commissioner Bob Martin gave the final approval in January, but the commission is waiting for the state to hand over funds.

Underground mining techniques, which account for the majority of West Virginias coal production, utilize machinery to drive tunnels under the surface of the land. These tunnels are situated in coal seams so as the machinery advances further underground, coal is removed. The tunnels are supported by drilling long bolts into the mine roof to consolidate the overlying material. Using a combined system of vehicle haulage and conveyor b...
